Following Coventry City's first pre-season training session at Ryton, a picture on the club's website has emerged of an unfamiliar player.

The mystery guest appears to be wearing a number nine training shirt, and already looks as if he is being embedded within the squad.

Mark Robins's men returned to Ryton yesterday, for the first time since the conclusion of last season, as the coaching staff put the players through their paces before they embark on their tour of Alicante next month.

Maxime Biamou signed a two-year deal with City yesterday, after a move from Sutton United, and the 26-year-old striker could be in line for his first appearance in a Sky Blue shirt when he returns to his former stomping ground next month.

Robins has moved quickly after the conclusion of last season to secure the services of eight new players with Michael Doyle, Marc McNulty, Rod McDonald, Liam Kelly, Liam O'Brien, Dominic Hyam, Peter Vincenti and now Biamou all completing deals.
